When I was in college I had a terrible vivid dream where I was in a car with my parents and some of my college friends and suddenly a car crossed the median of the highway and hit our car. I survived but most of the other people were dead. It made me uneasy for about six months and then I had another dream where the same thing happened, but the car missed us. I thought about how silly it was to dream about this, and two days later that same accident happened on the same highway where I dreamed it happening, killing about six people from the same family in a car. I had a similar one where I was in a terrible plane crash, then had the dream again where I wasn't on the plane and the next morning after the second dream was the Air France disaster in the Atlantic.
I seem to remember telling you about the dream where my business partner and I were in a conference room looking at glossy photos of Russian politicians and we had to choose one. I tried to choose Alexander Lebed but I was reminded that we picked him "last time" and couldn't pick him again, so I said, "I guess it has to be Yeltsin. But it's too bad. I liked him." We left the room and sat down in a big room in a funeral home. A man came by with a huge, tall carafe of vodka and poured us two shots. My business partner went to hit his glass against mine but I said, "No, you don't touch the glasses when someone has died." I then woke up, turned on the TV and saw that Yeltsin had just died. The timing was absolutely eerie.
Either way, if you haven't had dreams come true, don't worry. And if you have, things could change. Besides, why would you want to get into a minivan in the first place? They're so declassé.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

You assume we all know, and agree on, what "soul" means.
